Sentry Crash Report:

Description Tyson Tan 2021-06-01 04:11:42 UTC

CONTEXT:
Krita can switch to Canvas-Only mode by pressing the "Tab" key. There are options on Configure Krita -> Canvas-only settings that hides the Titlebar and goes fullscreen. 

EXPECTED:
By default, every option on that page was checked, which means Krita should display only its canvas at fullscreen when the Tab key is pressed.

REALITY:
However, if a user presses Tab for the first time after they installed Krita, the Titlebar won't be hidden and Krita won't go fullscreen. It remains that way even after restarting Krita.

WORKAROUND:
Press Tab -> Ctrl+Shift+F x2.
After doing that then switching back, Krita will now allow Titlebar to be hidden and go fullscreen at will, even after restarting it.

SUSPECT:
Maybe a default configuration file issue.

TESTED:
Krita 4.4.3 under ArchLinux (KDE Plasma) and Windows 10 (21H1).

I can replicate this situation for 4.4.0 and later appimages on Debian 10 with a fresh installation.

If the line 'fullscreenMode=false' is added to a freshly created kritarc file then this does not happen.
That line is present in the kritarc file after the Tab -> Ctrl+Shift+F operations described in the initial report.

Set default fullscreen mode to off

Before this commit the krita config set fullscreen mode true
by default despite Krita not actually starting in fullscreen.
That caused some canvas-only settings to behave incorrectly.
This commit aligns the fullscreen mode and startup
behavior (both off).
